Learning to dub? Want to speed up your tying? Tired of waste? Here is a neat little trick I learned many years ago.
With the labeling facing you, right handed tiers can make a small 45-degree cut at the bottom right corner of the dubbing package (bottom left corner for left handed folks) and remove a little dubbing. Not only does this minimize the amount of dubbing drawn for each fly, but with a little practice, the package can be held in the opposite hand up to the thread and dubbed simultaneous without ever opening the zip lock! Now, if I had three hands I shoot a picture.... Hopefully, you have the idea.
Small 45-degree cut
A small amount of dubbing has been drawn from the package.
When you are finished with the dubbing, simply tuck the material back in to the package and store.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
